Application Deadlines for PhD Applicants

The ISE department strongly encourages applicants to complete their applications by the deadlines described below:

Fall Application Deadline

Spring Application Deadline

All online applications due by December 5

Note: There are no doctoral admits for the summer semester; apply for the next semester

All online applications due by August 31

Note: Spring admissions are very rare, as they conflict with the natural sequence of classes first-year students must take.

Meeting the online application deadline allows the department to begin establishing department application files in a timely and efficient manner. We recommend supporting documents be sent on time, as applications will only be reviewed when they have been determined to be complete. For this reason, late or incomplete applications might not receive full consideration for funding.

Application Procedure

Below is the application procedure and checklist for the ISE doctoral program. Remember that the application process involves two offices, the UF Office of Admissions and the department of industrial and systems engineering.

Please read the following instructions carefully before applying. Failure to do so could delay or negatively impact your evaluation.

If your name on your ETS scorecard does not EXACTLY match your name on your UF application, your scores may not be posted. Please contact the Office of Admissions if there are any discrepancies between the names.

For questions regarding the submission of the above items and/or the policy of UF Admissions regarding transmission of transcripts, GRE and TOEFL (if applicable), contact the UF-Office of Admissions at (352) 392-1465, or via email at webrequests@admissions.ufl.edu.

Finally, you are all set!

After you complete the above steps and mail necessary documents to the UF Office of Admissions, the ISE department will process your application, and then forward it to the ISE Graduate Student Selection Committee for review and consideration.

Failure to complete a step above may delay or negatively impact your evaluation and application process
